About the owners

Karen

Listed since July 2013

It was over thirty five years ago that Ian and Maggie moved to Smallicombe Farm, and now we - the next generation - have moved back home with our children to help manage Smallicombe and its thriving diversified farm activities. The outside space is super child friendly, and has been thoroughly tested by our daughters Megan and Hattie and their friends.

Owner recommendations
